Coca-Cola HBC Egypt plans to invest USD 1.28 bn in the local market between 2026 and 2030, CEO Zoran Bogdanovic said according to a cabinet statement. The commitment, which follows USD 1.1 bn already invested between 2022 and 2025, was announced by Bogdanovic during the launch of the bottler’s new USD 35 mn PET packaging line at its Amreya factory in Alexandria.
IN CONTEXT- Egypt currently serves as a strategic hub for the group’s regional operations, which are actively driving its global top line. Coca-Cola HBC reported a 15% organic revenue jump in its emerging markets segment in 1Q 2026, fueled largely by strong African volumes. This follows the parent company’s full USD 304 mn acquisition of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Egypt in 2022, and its recent move to acquire a 75% stake in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa.
The green Samurai approaches
The USD 500 mn-equivalent Samurai bond issuance is in “the final steps,” Foreign Minister Badr Abdelaty told Reuters during a visit to Tokyo. The African Development Bank is providing a partial creditguarantee covering a portion of the issuance. This will be our third Samurai bond issuance, following issuances in 2022 and 2023, with proceeds expected to be directed toward green and sustainable projects.
IN CONTEXT-The government recently raised the ceiling on its medium-term international bond program to USD 40 bn. For the next FY, the Finance Ministry is targeting USD 3-4 bn in international bond issuances as part of a broader USD 11.2 bn external financing package.
The mortgage handshake
Beltone Mortgage and Coldwell Banker Egypt have inked a strategic partnership to offer flexible financing for ready-to-move properties, according to a pressrelease(pdf). The tie-up pairs Coldwell’s extensive property inventory with Beltone’s signature three-day loan approvals and seven-year repayment tenors, Beltone Mortgage CEO Hassan Abdelnabi said.
REMEMBER- Coldwell Banker Egypt has been securing similar integrated real estate and financing agreements with major players, including First Abu Dhabi Bank Misr last February and Arab African International Bank in April.
